A New Challenge

I have accepted a new challenge and a huge career opportunity. Following the NBA All-Star break (mid February), I'll be taking over as producer for the Sacramento Kings TV broadcasts.

For all but a small handful of shows since I started in TV 25 years ago, I've either directed or TDed. I've never produced. Nor, frankly, have I ever wanted to. But when the possibility arose, I saw an opportunity for growth and threw my hat in the ring.

I produced two quarters of a Kings home game last week. It's been a long time since I felt so new at something. Thanks to a quick decision by Kings management, I have two and a half months to learn from the outgoing producer. I couldn't ask for a better recipe for success.

I've spent every spare moment of the last two weeks immersed in everything Kings & NBA and I have two more months before I take the reins. I'll be ready. I'm all in.
